    An A Pump, where to get one?

    Hey I am looking for a PES6A pump from whatever I can get, I would like to find one from a DT466 so I can have the horsepower I want. Where can I get a pump like this, does anyone have one that I could possibly purchase? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance Mike.

    Ford IDI vs Cummins12v
